[Hide Comment] I would not rate this one 5.11 - I think it really is a good 10+.

The only somewhat harder moves is pulling the small roof, but then there are plenty of holds to do so and it isn't at all a power move - I that part is probably 10d. The rest is all easier, you have sequences of 10+ moves but they tend to have decent rests in between so I would not say the total amounts to 5.11.

A fun route regardless! Aug 3, 2017
